Prince Harry had a late night out in a club in London recently (scandal!). He wore a blue denim button-down shirt with a gray t-shirt underneath, paired with gray jeans that may have been a black-wash faded. Isn’t he adorable? Upon exit his shirt appeared to have some stains on the sleeve, most likely from someone hurling drinks (or a gold digger draping her arms around him in a drunken stupor). But hey, even the royals like to party (and even royals can get messy—what has history taught us?). Toss that crown out the window for tonight, Harry! It’s just you, your jeans, and airborn drinks.

Italian brand Emam? hit us with two new swimwear designs this season, and they’re at opposite sides of our spectrum. One, the denim bikini, we believe to be an insult to retail. The other, the beaded denim kaftan, is actually awesome, and though it might not be the most breezy thing you can wear on the beach, it does one thing right: it covers up the vile bikini. But seriously, the detailing and strategically ripped hems work well with the bohemian cut on the kaftan. In the case of its far skinnier counterpart, we believe this: there is no point in destroying, detracting from, or otherwise deducting the surface coverage of a garment that literally only covers about 1 foot of your entire body when you finish your calculations.
None the less, both are available now at Net-A-Porter.

So you told us you refused to have a denim tattoo, but what about a denim wedding? We didn’t think this could be done in a charming, non-cheesy way, but someone has successfully pulled off a denim-accented wedding, setting the stage for future denim-loving couples to follow suit. Chambray suit jackets, pocketed-denim frocks, and even a tailored denim bustier can be seen in the mix! Refreshingly classy, non? They paired their denim clothes & accents with an awesome monogrammed wooden walkway for photos. It was an overcast day, so the clouds matched their color scheme perfectly. This is the ultimate denim-lovers’ romance.
Check out the whole (beautiful) set of photos at Once Wed. Photos by Tec Petaja.

“It reminds me how funny living in LA can be; You go to a friend’s barbecue and you leave the face of Victoria Beckham’s look book.”

Meet Ilva. She’s a pretty cool gal. Aside from being a skateboarding champ (we’ve seen her navigate Bushwick streets after 3AM, whizzing in and out of trucks, both parked and mobile), and the most stylish Latvian in town, she has a band named after her! But when she dropped by our blog editor’s apartment in her awesome BCBG MAX Azria jeans recently, skateboard in hand, we demanded she stay for a quick photo shoot.
The paneled denim contours down the thigh to create very cool seamline that splits at the knee. We love how this adds texture without the superfluous appearance of appliqu?s or pre-meditated tears (because while we love those too, they’re not for every look). Ilva wore her jeans with a striped ruffled blouse—a surprisingly sweet twist to her too-cool-for-school look. And the best part? She says it’s an easy ensemble to skate in.
Thanks, Ilva!

From spikes to studs this season has definitely been all about denim with a rebellious edge, taking our textile of choice to new extremes of definite bad-assery. So what could possibly take it to even another level? Well, according to Hysteric Glamour a heavy dose of patches like on these faded and worn denim jackets will do just the trick. We have to admit we totally dig it—especially the whole punk aesthetic right out of the streets of London. How about you? Would you wear this? Sound off on our Facebook!

It’s been a long week of waiting, and we want to thank everyone who entered our Bleulab reversible denim cut-off shorts giveway last week! Since Monday was Memorial Day (and we hope you had as stellar a weekend as we did), we’re finally revealing the winner today. The winner described an awesome summer outfit and adhered to all of our contest rules, as well as put a big smile on our faces. Click through to see if it’s you!…
The winning comment, from our winner, Lynsi:
“These shorts are just too fun! I’d def pair them with something that would let the shorts take the stage. Maybe a pop of color with the top, in a slouchy fit. Then, I’d pair them with a fun, minimalist pair of sandals and a bunch of noisy bangles on my wrists. Thanks for hosting this contest, Denim Therapy and thanks for the chance to win these ultra fun shorts, BleuLab. Very cool.”
Congratulations, Lynsi! We’ll be contacting you soon with more information on how to claim your shorts. Check out some of our other favorite comments below, where you shared your awesome summer style ideas!
“I would style these shorts with a great tan and a bright colored shirt for summer!” —njsunbunny
“Every pair of denim shorts I own were jeans at one point, cut apart by me, and are now covered in various paints, glues, bleach, fabric dyes, and wood stain because whatever I’m wearing when I craft turns into a fashion napkin. These would probably be treated the same way but I could keep one side clean for a quick change from human art smock to fancy shorts-wearer.” —Comeuppances
“I would pair these with a bright colored tank or off the shoulder t-shirt with strappy sandals.” —Lovenotesxo
“I would pair them with an oversized bright colored tank and some fun accessories. Then I would reverse the shorts and wear them at night with a cute silky top and some booties.” —DaisieBelle
“I would wear them with my white v neck t shirt and some of my favorite sandals.” —Bessie Burnsed
“I would (first) wear these with my yellow halter top & super cute wedges. Then I’d wear them with ever other cute summer top in my closet!” —Jessica Caviness
“I would style these with a loose round neck james perse t-shirt, black laser cut sandals, and lots of tribal style jewelry!” —Karen Walker
“Would totally rock these shorts with a Simdog t-shirt, sunglasses, chunky necklace and a pair of high heeled sandals!” —Kim
“I would wear the coated shorts with a vintage tee, flats, and a cool necklace.” —Courtney Stecz
“I’d wear them with a fun lacey tank top for contrast and some bright colored espadrilles.” —Ladyboarder9669
“I would style them with a transparent white shirt, wearing a tube top or some nice bikini underneath it. I would also go for large dangling gold earrings, surf waves in my hair and then a pair of high heeled sandals in a bright color.” —Sara
We loved reading all of your awesome styling ideas!
Didn’t win this time? No worries! Denim Therapy has more chances on the way for you to own a pair of coveted jeans for your stylish summer excursions. Stay tuned, denim-lovers!

If you told us we’d be into mustard yellow and ketchup red jeans this year, we might have looked at you like you had three heads (and all of them were blind). But the Resin Denim lookbook may have just made this seemingly impossible feat into a very covetable reality. From basics like destroyed boyfriend jeans and dark-wash denim workshirts, to surprises like marble-wash yellow and red skinny jeans, this collection keeps us guessing (and nearly drooling). Check out the entire lookbook below.

Going to work never looked so good. Pippa Middleton is certainly pretty in pink and blue! She was seen dressed in a pink blouse with a smart blue blazer. Pippa’s gorgeous gams that she knows just how to show off were walking around London on her morning run into Le Pain Quotidien in Hudson May Skinny jeans in Felix Wash and kitten heel booties. She accessorized with hoop earrings,Gucci sunnies and a Modalu bag. Her casual ensemble is perfect for the day at the office, followed by drinks with the gals.
